LABOR AND INDUSTRY
SOME NOTES OF INTEREST TO
UNION WORKMEN.

The Old Church Is For Sale.
I’ve worshiped there for many a year—
they never seen me fall.
But now they’ve come an’ told me that
the old church Is for sale!
The auctioneer is ready, an’ they’re goln’
to let her go—
The old church where we praised the
Lord from whom all blessings flow!
I jest can’t help the heartbeat—the mist
that’s roun’ my eyes—
For there I read my titles clear to man¬
sions In the skies;
An’ there, in years that had their tears,
I found salvation free—
And knew that sweet, amazin’ grace that
saved a wretch like me.
I knowed the “amen corner”—I knowed
the "anxious seat”—
An' when the organ shook the walls, or
died in music sweet,
Like a little child a-dreamin’, I closed my
old eyes there,
An’ my soul went up to heaven on
wings of love an’ prayer.
There was sweetest consolation in the
holy, heavenly calm
That led us Into Gilead, where we found
the healin' balm;
’Twas there w:e glimpsed the beauty of a
better, brighter sky
That bent o’er Canaan's happy land,
where our possessions lie.
But the old church now is throwed aside
—they're buildin’ of a new,
But the same salvation’s in it—thank the
Lord! for me an’ you.
But nq matter how they build it, my
heart will always go
To the old church where we praised the
Lord from Whom all blessings flow!
Conference to Discuss Trusts.
The conference held in Chicago
discuss trusts and to suggest
lor evils that may be found to
their existence, closed Sept. 16,
chief orators of that day being W. J.
Bryan and Bourke Cochran. Mr.
an took the position that the origin
trusts must be looked for in the
selfishness and baseness that
terizes mankind. Mr. Cochran pointed
out that under competitive
some one must necessarily excel,
to the point of monopoly, and
if limits were to be set to the degree
excellency a man might attain. Mr.
Bryan assumed that trusts were, in
and of themselves, monopolistic and
necessarily vicious, and must there¬
fore be exterminated, the only ques
tion being one of manner of getting at
them. Mr. Cochran maintained that it
had not yet been shown that a trust or
great aggregation of capital must nec
essarily be vicious in its effects, even
if it became a monopoly, so long as it
was liable to be pushed from its mo¬
nopolistic position by the competition
of other great aggregations of capital
whenever it wa3 not giving the largest
possible return to the consumer of its
product, or rendering him the greatest
oossible service, for the lowest possible
.-ice. Both agreed on the propositions
inat whenever a combination of capl¬
tal enjoys governmental favor, through
tariff or otherwise, that enables it to
render inferior service or demand un¬
due returns, and yet be out of the
reach of competition, a wrong is done;
and that at least such a degree of pub¬
licity should attach to their affairs
that the public could know whether
the capital was actual or watered. As
to the remedies for evils that may at
tend or follow from the operations of
grea t aggregations of capital Mr. Coch¬
ran saw a probably sufficient remedy
In publicity. Mr. Bryan went further.
He demanded not only publicity, hut a
federal control that would make it nec¬
essary for a corporation to procure a
federal license before it could do busi¬
ness beyond the boundaries of the state
that had chartered it. Such license to
be granted only after it had been
shown that the corporation applying
for the same had only actual—not wa¬
tered—capital, and was not monopolis¬
tic in its tendency. He did not know
whether congress had the right to con¬
stitute such a licensing commission,
but was in favor of amending the fed¬
eral constitution if necessary in order
to vest such right in congress. It may
be noted here that in making this rec¬
ommendation Mr. Bryan knocks from
under the anti-expansion argument one
of the two legs it stood on. That ar¬
gument is, in brief: First, that it is
bad policy to expand; second, that
there must be no fundamental change
in the system of government transmit¬
ted by the fathers as interpreted by Mr.
Atkinson. In recommending such a
change, Mr. Bryan declares that there
is nothing in the second proposition,
and thus takes all question of princi¬
ple out of the anti-expansion argument,
leaving it one solely of expediency.
And as soon as it is reduced to that,
it becomes chiefly an industrial ques¬
tion, that may be stated thus: Is it
good policy to incur the present ex¬
pense necessary to organize govern¬
ments In the islands in question in the
expectation of acquiring markets for
American products that would other¬
wise be practically closed to us and
monopolized by European countries?
On this proposition I think that the

DEVOTED TO THE INTEREST OF JOHNSON COUNTY AND MIDDLE GEORGIA,
WRIGHTSVILLB. GA.. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26 , 18911 .
body of American laborers and me¬
chanics has already pronounced in fa¬
vor of making the investment. The
industrial world took much Interest in
the proceedings of this conference, be¬
cause it had been hoped that some de¬
finite knowledge would be gained con¬
cerning the operation and effects of
the recent movement toward consoli¬
dation of industries. That hope has
been disappointed, as the committee
on resolutions reported as follows:
"While it is not expected that a thor¬
ough investigation of even any branch
of this great question can be made in
so short a time, it is hoped that a be¬
ginning may he made and a plan adopt¬
ed for following up the work- along
practical lines. In the opinion of the
committee on resolutions this confer¬
ence is without authority, and it
would he inexpedient for it to adopt
resolutions purporting to declare the
sense of the conference upon any as¬
pect of the subject under discussion.”
Labor In New Zealand.
New Zealand is a state where affairs
are run on a pronounced socialistic ba¬
sis. The report of Labor Commission¬
er Seddon for the year ending March
31, 1899, shows the conditions that
have prevailed there. The following
paragraphs are taken from the report;
The labor market has kept pace in its
records of employment with the gen¬
eral expansion of industry, even though
part of this expansion may have been
due to improved machinery, increased
facilities of transit and extended mar¬
kets. The department continued its
duty of assisting to bring the work and
the worker together, and 2,115 men
obtained work or received temporary
advances of passages, etc., to enable
them to reach employment. Of these
937 were single and 1,178 married men,
the latter having 4,759 persons depend¬
ent on them. The woman’s branch of
the department in Wellington also
found employment for 426 women and
girls during the year. The summary
of those for whom employment has
been found hitherto is as follows;

The number of breadwinners added
to the dependents shows a total of 73,-

the department.
Speaking generally there has been
full employment for all classes of
workmen, except in two trades. Build¬
ing operations have been unusually
brisk all over the colony; clothing fac¬
tories and woolen mills have been
working full time, Unskilled labor
found more aveliues to employment
than have been open for many previ¬
ous years. The two branches of labor
that have not shared the general pros¬
perity are those of the printers and
the bootmakers. The printers are feel¬
ing, and will unhappily continue to feel
the competition of improved machin¬
ery. The bootmakers complain not
only of the improved machinery oust¬
ing them from their employment, but
of the growing speed insisted on at
factory work and early exhausting the
worker, and also of the glut of low
priced imported goods. It is noticed
that there are now few old and decrep¬
it men tramping the roads in search
of work, and this hopeful sign is prob¬
ably the result of assistance rendered
them by the old age pension act. The
steady increase from year to year in
the number of factofies and of the
hands employed, has been well main¬
tained, and their annual average raised
by the numbers shown in the follow¬
ing return: For the year 1899 the fac¬
tories number 6,286 and the employes
45,305, an increase of 685 factories and
5,633 workers therein on'the return of
1898. The figures for the last few
years stand as follows in regard to
working people employed in registered
factories: 1895, 29,879; 1896, 32,387;
1897, 36,918; 1898, 39,672; 1899, 45,305.
This shows an increase of 15,426 per¬
sons in four years. These figures do
not include 1,248 men and 152 appren¬
tices employed in the railway work¬
shops.
Notes.
At a meeting of the striking street
railroad men of Cleveland, Ohio, it was
decided by a unanimous vote to con¬
tinue the strike. Four hundred strik¬
ers were present, and the speeches
predicted a victory.
A general strike among the union
carpenters of Birmingham, Ala., has
occurred, between 300 and 400 quitting
work. Their demand for a minimum
wage of $2 a day and nine hours in¬
stead of ten to constitute a day’s work
was rejected by the contractors.
“PROSPERITY” AGAIN.
AN ANALYSIS OF PRESENT
BUSINESS CONDITIONS.
While Times Are Better, We Have
Nothing to Boast Of Now and No
Hope of Ksoape from Another Gold
Standard Panic.
It is a mockery to tell the people in
times like these that they are pros¬
perous. With employment agencies
overrun with applicants vainly hunt¬
ing for work; with an army of able
bodied and Intelligent men eager for
a chance to labor hard for a weekly
pittance of ten dollars; with skilled
mechanics glad of opportunities to
earn only fifteen dollars a week; with
school children grinding away their
young lives in stores and factories to
eke out the meager incomes of in¬
dustrious but Impoverished parents;
with underpaid women displacing men,
and men going into private kitchens
as household servants; with hosts of
small merchants passing out of inde¬
pendent business and into the over¬
crowded ranks of hired clerks, and
traveling salesmen aghast at their nar¬
rowing opportunities; with free-hold
farmers giving way to a rapidly grow¬
ing class of agricultural tenantry;
with vice-breeding slums in every city
and sturdy tramps upon every high¬
way; with a thousand other manifesta¬
tions of social maladjustment and mis¬
ery, the whole culminating in a uni¬
versal fear of loss of employment or
business, a paralyzing dread of pov¬
erty—with such facts thrusting them¬
selves hourly upon public attention,
thoughtful men are in no mood to
listen patiently to silly jabber about
our “wonderful prosperity.”
That there is prosperity in spots no
one denies, says Louis F. Post, in the
Public. Monopolists are prosperous,
and have been for two years. They
were never so prosperous in all the
previous histqry of the country. But
their prosperify does not imply general
prosperity.
It is likewise conceded that some
hired men are comparatively prosper¬
ous. Their prosperity, that of even
the luckiest of them, is not thrilling
enough to account for the ecstasies
into which it has thrown republican
organs, but it does exist. They are in
greater demand, and their wages are a
trifle higher.
With by far the larger proportion
of hired men, however, and with near¬
ly all business men who control no
monopoly, prosperity has taken the
form of increase of work without in¬
crease of pay. Business is brisker, but
competitive profits are lower. There
is a strong demand and relatively
smaller supply of workmen, hut as it
is still easier for employers to get men
than for men to get jobs, wages are
slow to advance.
Besides conceding prosperity in
spots, it may be fairly assumed that,
as compared with the so-called “hard
times,” conditions are on the whole
improving. That is to say, the “hard
times” period of the 90's is being su¬
perseded by what for distinction we
are accustomed to call “good times” or
“prosperity.-” But this change is only
a swing of the pendulum. Succeeding
periods of “good times” and “bad
times” follow each other with a regu¬
larity that suggests the working of
some law. If we are now enjoying
“good times,” it is because the pendu¬
lum swings in that direction. But it
will swing back again to “hard times"
as certainly as it has done so once in
about every ten years since the be¬
ginning of the century.
To attribute this temporary "pros¬
perity” to the present American ad¬
ministration is to prove oneself either
fraud or fool. Only a fraud would
set up that explanation and only a
fool would believe in it. The same
change from "hard times” to “pros¬
perity” that we in this country are
experiencing, has at the same time
taken place in England under the tory
administration of Salisbury, in Ger¬
many under an emperor, in Canada un¬
der the democratic Laurier and in Aus¬
tralia under administrations of various
political complexions. This swinging
back and forth of the business pendu¬
lum recks not of political parties nor
administrations. It is governed by
economic conditions to which neither
parties nor administrations yet pay
much attention. When those condi¬
tions are ripe for the change, "prosper¬
ity” succeeds “hard times” and then
gives way to them again, regardless of
forms of government or of political
parties. These phenomena are no
more confined to nations than to vot¬
ing precincts. They are worldwide,
and the politician who sincerely claims
that his party has produced a change
from “hard times” to “good times” in
any country, when the same phenom
eha are observable in all countries,
writes himself down an ass.
While we assume that the depres¬
sion of the ’90’s is passing away, the
assumption will not be generally ac-
cepted. Too many men are out of
work; too many men find it as hard
as ever to make ends meet; too many
men are working harder and harder
ana making less than ever before; too
many men are conscious of diminish¬
ing business opportunities; too many
men find stationary salaries burdened
with advancing prices—altogether,
prosperity is too unevenly distributed
to allow of any general acceptance of
the assumption that it is at hand.
Yet it Is not to be inferred that those
who assert that prosperity is here are
themselves deceived or are trying to de¬
ceive others. Partisanship aside, man
report what they themselves observe.
The situation is mixed, and the re
ports you get upon the subject depend
upon the environment of the person
you interrogate. If the outlook in his
circles has improved, he reports in fa¬
vor of prosperity; if his outlook is un¬
improved, he reports against it.
No thinking, educated Republican,
no well-posted business man, will
claim that the present weak business
revival is permanent. The gold stand¬
ard political economy has no perma¬
nent cure for panics and periodical in¬
dustrial depressions, and claims to
have none.
Liquidation must follow speculation,
When workingmen’s and farmers
wages are insufficient to buy the full
products of factories, the shops must
close down, causing another era ol
wide-spread distress. The revival oi
business inflates land values until high
rent, in turn, chops off production. Un¬
derneath all, as an inevitable cause of
a future panic, is the fall of prices due
to the relative decrease in the volume
of money, which will surely squeeze the
prosperity out of business conditions.
To get rid of panics, industrial de¬
pressions and hard times, permanently,
we must do away with the whole Re¬
publican gold-standard political econ
omy and public policy. If we abolish
all monopolies and provide for a cur¬
rency volume equal to all of the de¬
mands of production and trade, pros¬
perity will constantly increase instead
of being subject to severe periodica)
depressions.
POINTS FROM THE PRESS.
National debts are nothing more
nor less than excuses for the existence
of the nonproducing interest absorbers.
The people pay the interest out
of their own labor to enable a lot ol
sycophants to eat not in the sweat o!
their own brow but in the sweat of
others’. National debts build up the
aristocratic classes, and aristocracy
kills democracy, and with the death ol
the latter comes serfdom in the due
course of events. Think of Uncle Sam’s
“peons” in Porto Rfco. If we are not
drifting backward, the signs of the
times lie.—George’s Weekly.
The favorites of fortune are supreme
justices who are selected to serve on
foreign commissions. Chief Justice
Fuller has a salary of $10,500 and Jus¬
tice Brewer one of $10,000. They are
now having a nice easy time in Paris
on the Venezuela commission, and
when the commission adjourns each
will receive at least $10,000 as a gift.
A six months’ holiday in Paris and
a present of $10,000 or $15,000 form one
of the plums of politics.—Stockton
Mail. —
“Why,” they say, “If we should pull
out and leave the Philippines now, all
the world would laugh at us.” Is that
so? Well, just let ’em laugh. We much
prefer being laughed at for doing right
than to he applauded for doing wrong.
You fellows ought to have lived at the
time of Noah so that you could have
gone with the majority.—Salt Lake
Living Issues.
The next congress will attempt to
establish the gold standard by law,
pass a bill to enable the hankers to
launch a huge paper money trust, and
authorize an enlargement of the mili¬
tary establishment. But it will take
no steps toward a reduction of the
burdens of taxation.—National Watch¬
man.
It is the poor who are paying the
cost of this war. Wages have not ad¬
vanced save in a very few industries,
but the purchasing power of a dollar
for the necessities of life is much less,
owing to the “stamp act” or war tax.
Nearly all luxuries, which only the
rich can afford, escape taxation. The
cost of living for the poor has in¬
creased at least one-fourth.—San Fran¬
cisco Star.
There is air enough for all, and as
there has been no means discovered to
monopolize it, it is free to all. Now,
there is land enough for every crea¬
ture on the globe. Why should any
one have to buy the privilege of using
it from any person? To pay one-half
rent for the use of land is to slave half
your life and work the other half
for yourself. Why do you want a sys¬
tem that enslaves you and millions of
others half their lives, when a system
can he arranged that will give to each
the full use of land, without depriving
any other person of any right?—Appeal
to Reason.
A SONG OF A DREAM.
Blossoms in the windy woods—
Voices in the solitudes;
Thrashes singing silver-sweet
Where the lights and shadows meet;
ftturof night and rose of dawn—
Whither lias the bright dream gone?
It was woven of roses white—
Lilies of the dew and light;
-Sunflowers fair and manifold,
CHvi g gardons all their gold.
Star of night and rose of dawn—
Whither has the bright dream gone?
Song and sunlight, gloom and gleam—
Heart-beats echoed through the dream;
Faiths and hopes, and doubts and
Lips that kissed away my tears.
Hi-irit of the dark and dawn—
Whither has the bright dream gone?
Take each high star’s golden beam—
Give me back the dream—the dream!
With its balm and bloom replete,
And tbo face that made tt sweet!
Star of night and rose of dawn—
Whither has the bright dream gone?

me what a zebra is?” Tommy—“Yes,
sir; I can.” Teacher—“Well, Tommy,

sir, a zebra is a donkey with a foot¬
ball suit on!”
Moths That Cost a Fortune.
Think of a single State paying out
$20,000 for the sole purpose of gettiug
rid of a certain family of moths! This
is what tho State, of Massachusetts
has done, aud the “gypsy” moth is
the very destructive insect which the
State Board seeks to drive out. Tho
little creatures have proved such a
pest that it has been found necessary
to employ hundreds of men to do
nothing but destroy them. Indeed,
the above sum is by no means all
that will be required to accomplish
the work, for it is estimated that fully
ten times that amount must be spent
before they are finally exterminated.
A Simple Language.
The grammar of tho Chinese lan¬
guage is so simple as to bo almost
non-existent. The same word serves
indifferently as a noun, verb, adverb,
or adjective. Moods, tenses, persons,
gander and number are lacking; there
are neither conjugations nor declen¬
sions, nor auxiliary verbs. The few
Chinese who have attempted to master
the English tongue regard its gram¬
matical construction ns clumsy aud
full of pitfalls.
